Abstract
An apparatus and method for processing a virtual world. The apparatus for controlling a facial expression of an avatar in a virtual world using a facial expression of a user in a real world may include a receiving unit to receive sensed information that is sensed by an intelligent camera, the sensed information relating to a facial expression basis of the user, and a processing unit to generate facial expression data of the user for controlling the facial expression of the avatar, using initialization information representing a parameter for initializing the facial expression basis of the user, a 2-dimensional/3-dimensional (2D/3D) model defining a coding method for a face object of the avatar, and the sensed information.
